Chest disease is defined as any condition in the chest that stops the chest from functioning normally. There are three primary categories of chest disease.

Airway diseases: These diseases have an impact on the tubes(airways) that transport oxygen and other gases into and out of the chest. They frequently induce constriction or obstruction of the airways.

Chest tissue diseases: These diseases have an impact on the structure of the chest tissue. Scarring or inflammation of the tissue prevents the chest from properly expanding (restrictive chest disease). This makes it difficult for the chest to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.

Chest circulation diseases: These diseases have an impact on the blood arteries in the chest. They are caused by blood vessel clotting, scarring, or inflammation. They impair the chest's ability to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.

 The most common Chest diseases and conditions include-

    Asthma.

    Adult cystic fibrosis.

    Chest wall cancer.

    Cough.

    Bronchiectasis.

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema.

    dyspnea, shortness of breath.

    Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia(COP)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a lung illness that causes your chest to become inflamed, making breathing difficult. The inflammation causes an increase in mucus production and thickening of the lining of your chest. The alveoli, or air sacs, become less efficient in bringing oxygen in and releasing carbon dioxide. COPD is an incurable, progressive disease that is frequently caused by smoking, but it also has a strong genetic component. Additional risk factors are:

    Secondhand smoke exposure.

    Air pollution.

    Dust, fumes, and smoke exposure at work.
